CHIEF SANITARY INSPECTOR'S REPORT.
Health Department,
14, Brampton Road,
Bexleyheath.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the Borough
of Bexley.
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have pleasure in submitting my Annual Report
as Chief Sanitary Inspector and Public Cleansing Officer
to your Council for the year 1948.
The report consists, as in previous years, of a
tabulated record of work carried out.
The year was marked by the retirement on April 6th
of Mr. R. J. Rayner, who was Chief Sanitary Inspector
for a period of 33 years. In consequence of this, I was
appointed his successor and would like to record in my
first Annual Report my appreciation of the help and
advice Mr. Rayner gave me during my years of service
under him.
Other changes in the inspectorial staff were the
appointments of Mr. Boocock as Deputy Chief Sanitary
Inspector, and Mr. Lovegrove and Mr. Moses as District
Sanitary Inspectors. When the latter two appointments
were made, it was found possible to divide the area into
four districts, and this has resulted in better supervision
than has been possible for some years.
